Triangular forum, Roman public forum in Pompeii, Italy.

The Triangular Forum includes a portico with six columns forming a monumental façade and contains a public fountain at its entrance point.

Built during the second century BC, this forum represents one of the oldest sacred areas in Pompeii, with structures dating back to the sixth century BC.

The forum features a Doric temple with tuff columns and includes a rectangular enclosure interpreted as the tomb of Heracles, the legendary city founder.

The archaeological site contains informational signs explaining the importance of various architectural elements and the forum's role in ancient Roman society.

A circular building with Doric columns surrounds a well, constructed by Samnite magistrate Numerius Trebius at the forum's center.
